The  Natco  Suburban  House  and  Garage 

FOREWORD 

THE  development  of  extensive  suburban  tracts  on  the  outskirts  of  our 
larger  cities  during  the  last  few  years  has  been  remarkable.  The 
greatest  single  factor  making  for  this  movement  is  the  popularization 
of  the  automobile.  Where  real  estate  developments  were  formerly  limited 
to  sections  having  good  lines  of  transportation,  this  restriction  has  been  re- 
moved, for  the  automobile,  reduced  in  initial  cost  and  upkeep,  is  now  within 
the  means  of  a  great  number  of  people.  No  longer  is  the  average  man  limited 
to  having  merely  a  summer  home  out  of  the  city,  but  now  he  may  live  away 
from  the  noise  and  dirt  during  the  whole  year,  eliminating  distance  bj'  the  use 
of  the  automobile. 

This  gratifying  change  in  the  living  habits  and  conditions  of  a  great  many 
people  has  created  a  new  architectural  problem: — the  designing  of  a  suburban 
house  with  an  adjoining  garage.  While  the  man  living  in  the  city  has  many 
public  garages  at  his  disposal,  the  suburban  dweller  must  provide  some  place 
of  his  own  where  he  may  keep  his  car.  To  the  man  building  a  home  of  moder- 
ate cost  this  close  proximity  of  his  garage  is  of  advantage  in  that  it  places  his 
car  at  his  immediate  disposal. 

In  building  in  the  suburbs,  the  very  first  requirement  to  be  laid  down  is 
that  the  structures  shall  be  fireproof  or  as  nearly  so  as  conditions  will  allow. 
The  question  of  safety  from  fire  becomes  a  very  real  issue  when  it  is  realized 
how  often  the  suburban  district  is  without  adequate  fire  apparatus.  Fire 
prevention  must  then  take  the  place  of  fire-fighting.  The  hazard  in  the  case 
of  the  garage  is  increased  by  the  very  nature  of  its  purpose  so  that  prevention 
is  even  more  necessary. 

This  demand  for  fireproofing  is  satisfied  when  the  construction  is  of  Natco 
XXX  Hollow  Tile.  The  garage  with  tile  walls  and  the  usual  concrete  floor 
will  be  absolutely  fireproof;  while  the  house  with  tile  walls  and  wooden  floor 
construction  will  be  semi-fireproof.  The  house  may  be  made  entirely  fire- 
proof by  using  Natco  Tile  for  the  floor  construction  as  well  as  for  the  walls 
and  partitions.  Regular  tile  shapes  can  be  used  for  this  purpose.  By  placing 
them  four  or  five  inches  apart,  forms  are  made  for  the  pouring  of  concrete  beams. 
This  makes  a  most  rigid  and  substantial  floor,  not  only  completing  the  fire- 
proofing  of  the  building  but  strengthening  the  whole  construction  at  the  same 
time.  This  is  fireproofing  at  the  lowest  cost,  for  any  cheaper  construction 
must  be  of  wood  and  obviously  can  make  no  pretense  at  being  fireproof. 

After  fireproofing  the  next  consideration  of  vital  importance  to  any  home 


builder — and  especially  to  the  builder  of  the  home  of  moderate  cost — is  the 
question  of  the  upkeep  of  the  house.  The  wooden  dwelling  by  the  very  nature 
of  its  material  will  necessitate  repairs  which  increase  surprisingly  with  each 
year,  and  at  the  same  time  the  deterioration  of  the  structure  will  impair  its 
marketable  value  to  a  very  appreciable  extent.  The  largest  share  of  this  up- 
keep cost  is  eliminated  by  the  use  of  Natco  XXX  Hollow  Tile,  and  at  an  initial 
cost  so  slightly  higher  than  the  perishable  and  inflammable  wooden  construction 
that  a  few  years  will  show  a  balance  clearly  in  favor  of  the  tile  house. 

Besides  these  considerations  of  fireproofing  and  upkeep  Natco  Tile  con- 
struction has  an  added  advantage  of  comfort.  The  air  spaces  which  are 
afforded  by  the  hollow  cells  of  the  tiles  have  an  insulating  value  of  great  im- 
portance; they  make  the  phrase,  "warm  in  winter;  cool  in  summer"  a  realized 
actuality  which  should  be  gratefully  appreciated. 

With  such  advantages  of  Natco  Tile  construction  added  to  the  possibility 
of  making  the  exterior  as  attractive  as  when  any  other  material  is  used,  the 
only  factor  to  be  questioned  is  the  slight  additional  cost  involved  in  constructing 
the  building.  While  the  cost  of  tile  is  a  little  more  than  for  the  more  perishable 
materials  there  arc  two  points  of  distinct  saving  where  tile  is  used.  One  of 
these  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the  interior  plastering  may  be  applied  directly  to 
the  surface  of  the  tile,  thus  avoiding  the  expense  of  the  usual  lathing,  and  the 
other  is  in  saving  in  the  labor  of  construction,  which  is  reduced  in  the  tile  house 
because  of  the  large  size  of  the  tile  and  the  resulting  rapidity  with  which  a 
wall  may  be  built.  The  largest  saving,  however,  is  to  be  found  in  the  expense 
of  upkeep,  which  is  necessary  in  the  cheaper  house  and  unnecessary  in  the  house 
of  Natco  XXX  Hollow  Tile.  This  saving  alone  is  so  large  that  it  practically 
eliminates  the  question  of  the  initial  expense  in  construction  where  tile  is  used. 

In  the  following  pages  are  reproduced  drawings  which  were  submitted  in 
a  competition  for  the  design  of  a  Suburban  House  and  Garage  to  be  located  on 
a  fifty-foot  lot  in  the  outskirts  of  a  large  city  or  at  some  suburban  development- 
They  are  the  work  of  architects  from  all  parts  of  the  country  and  readily  show 
how  various  are  the  possibilities  of  producing  an  attractive  design  in  this  ma- 
terial. These  schemes  arc  not  mere  dreams  of  idealists,  but  are  real  practical 
solutions  of  the  problem  by  architects  who  are  daily  i)roducing  work.  For  this 
reason  they  should  be  of  actual  value  to  the  prospective  home  builder  in  indi- 
cating to  him  the  possibilities  in  the  use  of  Natco  XXX  Hollow  Tile. 

The  designers  were  limited  in  the  size  they  could  make  their  buildings  by 
the  restriction  that  the  volume  of  the  house  should  not  exceed  35,000  cubic  feet 
and  that  of  the  garage  4,000,  making  a  total  of  39,000  cubic  feet.  While  the 
cost  of  construction  will  vary  with  the  location  of  the  building  and  with  the 
conditions  governing  the  cost  of  labor  and  material,  the  average  cost  of  this 
tyjie  of  dwelling  is  not  over  twenty  cents  per  cul^ic  foot,  which  would  make  the 
cost  of  the  designs  here  shown  a  very  little  if  any  over  $7,500.

Description  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile 
Houses  and  Garages 

(Illustrated  on  following  pages) 

HOUSE  AND  GARAGE  AT  MIDDLETOWN,  N.  J.,  Page  65 

Ernest  A.  Arcnd,  Architect 

THE  exterior  walls  of  this  house  are  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile  finished  with  stucco 
on  the  outside.     The  stucco  is  a  cream  white  and  the  tile  roof  is  red,  making 
a  very  satisfying  combination. 

There  are  two  stories  with  an  air  space  beneath  the  roof.  The  first  story  is  ten 
feet  high  and  the  second  is  nine  feet.  The  living  room  is  finished  in  quartered 
oak  with  a  beamed  ceiling  and  a  brick-faced  fireplace.  The  porch  is  enclosed  by 
glass  for  winter  use  and  is  furnished  with  radiation.  The  dining  room  is  finished 
in  white  enamel  with  mahogany  doors. 

The  service  portion  is  finished  in  gray  enamel.     The  second  floor  has  white  enamel 
finish  except  the  servants'  rooms  where  gray  stain  has  been  used  on  cypress. 
The  garage  in  the  rear  is  also  built  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile  with  stucco  finish. 

HOUSE  AND  GARAGE  AT  FLUSHING,  LONG  ISLAND,  N.  Y.,  Page  66,  67 

Donn  Barber,  Architect 

I  RICK  has  been  used  in  this  house  as  an  embellishment  for  the  stucco  finish. 
Used  for  the  sills  and  arched  heads  of  the  windows  and  to  outline  the  arches 
of  the  porch  and  porte-cochere,  it  forms  a  delightful  accenting  note  of  color.  The 
chimneys  arc  also  interesting  in  the  use  of  special  shapes  of  brick. 
The  exterior  walls  of  the  house  and  also  of  the  garage  are  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile. 
The  plan  has  been  well  arranged  so  that  the  doctor's  suite  in  the  rear  of  the  house 
has  a  separate  entrance,  which  makes  that  portion  independent  of  the  rest. 

HOUSE  AND  GARAGE  AT  CHICAGO,  ILL.,  Page  68,  69 

George  \V.  Maher,  Architect 

^HIS  building  includes  under  one  roof  the  residence  proper,  separate  servants' 
quarters,  and  the  garage.  The  part  for  the  use  of  the  owner  as  a  dwelling  is 
on  the  first  and  second  floors,  the  second  story  being  reached  by  a  spacious  hall 
and  stairway,  which  is  one  of  the  features  of  the  interior.  The  servants'  quarters 
are  on  the  first  floor  and  in  the  rear  of  the  garage  and  yet  are  entirely  separate 
from  the  main  part  of  the  house.  The  garage  is  reached  from  the  main  hall  so 
that  one  may  enter  the  house  directly  by  automobile.  The  garage  is  so  designed 
that  it  forms  an  integral  part  of  the  scheme  of  the  whole  building,  not  obtruding 
itself  as  a  detached  unit.  This  treatment  of  the  three  parts,  each  separate  and 
distinct,  yet  closely  related,  has  resulted  in  a  very  convenient  arrangement. 
The  walls  of  the  house  are  constructed  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile,  the  outside  of  which 
is  covered  with  a  surface  of  cement  finished  to  present  a  smooth  white  marble 
effect.  The  quoins  at  the  corners  are  stone.  The  roof  is  covered  with  a  dull 
flat  vitrified  green  tile. 
The  interior  of  the  house  proper  is  finished  in  dull  white  enamel  and  mahogany. 

HOUSE  AND  GARAGE  AT  OAK  PARK,  ILL.,  "   Page  70.  71 

John  S.  Van  Bergen,  Architect 

^HE  interesting  design  of  this  house  follows  a  style  which  has  l>een  developed 

in  and  around  Chicago  in  the  last  few  years.     The  walls  are  of  Natco  Hollow 

Tile  linished  on  the  outside  with  cement  plaster  of  two  colors,  a  <lark  buff  color

being  used  in  the  recessed  panels  to  accentuate  the  corners.     The  window  sills, 

cornices  and  panel  strips  are  rough  cypress  stained  brown. 

While  the  roof  is  flat  and  is  only  covered  with  a  tar  and  gravel  composition  the 

house  has  been  made  very  cool  by  allowing  the  second-story  rooms  to  ventilate 

into  the  small  attic  space  and  then  this  space  in  turn  ventilate  into  the  open. 

Because  of  the  height  of  the  building  on  the  adjoining  lot  this  house  has  been 

placed  on  a  rather  high  terrace.     The  approach  has  been  broken  by  two  series 

of  steps  with  flower  boxes  which  gives  something  of  a  retiring  appearance. 

The  stair  and  hall  are  well  lighted  from  a  large  skylight  directly  overhead  which 

also  lights  other  parts  of  the  first  floor.     At  the  end  of  the  living  room  is  a  large 

fireplace  with  seats  on  either  side,  an  effect  which  gives  a  welcoming  appearance 

as  one  enters  the  house.     The  porch  is  reached  through  French  windows. 

The  living  room  is  finished  in  deep  mahogany  with  soft  gray  walls.     The  dining 

room  and  breakfast  room  are  in  light  gray  birch  with  blue  gray  walls. 

In  the  rear  is  a  double  garage  which  is  quite  in  keeping  with  the  house  both  in 

design  and  color. 

HOUSE  AND  GARAGE  AT  EDGEWATER  PARK,  X.  J.,  Page  72 

J.  Fletcher  Street,  Architect 

''HE   design  of  this  picturesque  house  was  inspired  by  the  precedents  found 
in  the  Dutch  Colonial  work  which  makes  it  appropriate  for  its  geographical 
location. 

The  stucco  is  on  Natco  Hollow  Tile  and  has  been  given  an  interesting  texture  by 
having  been  rough  cast.  The  open  porch  and  the  terrace  are  paved  with  brick 
while  the  steps  leading  to  the  driveway  are  also  of  brick. 

The  interior  finish  is  Colonial  in  character,  white  paint  being  used  on  the  trim  wdth 
mahogany  stained  birch  for  the  doors  and  stairs.     The  living  room  fireplace  is 
brick  while  that  in  the  library  is  of  tile. 
The  garage  is  stucco  finished  and  is  of  similar  design  to  the  house. 

HOUSE  AND  GARAGE  AT  PALISADE,  N.  J.,  Page  73 

Granville  W.  Dexter,  Architect 

TN  the  design  of  this  house  red  tiles  have  been  carefully  used  to  relieve  the  cream 
■•■  colored  stucco.  This  finish  of  stucco  is  on  walls  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile  while 
the  foundations  are  of  local  stone.  The  roof  is  covered  with  shingles  stained 
moss  green  and  the  gutters  are  cypress. 

The  floors  of  the  terrace  and  porch  are  red  cement  marked  off  in  squares.  The 
steps  and  borders  of  the  walks  are  red  brick. 

On  the  inside  a  very  pleasing  effect  has  been  obtained  by  using  a  sand  finish  on 
the  plaster  work,  which  harmonizes  well  with  the  oak  trim  used  throughout  the 
first  floor.  The  woodwork  on  the  second  floor  is  birch;  the  kitchen  and  bathroom 
are  tiled. 

The  house  is  equipped  with  gas  and  electricity  and  has  low  pressure  steam  heat. 
The  garage,  unobtrusively  located  in  the  rear,  is  easily  accessible  from  the  house 
and  follows  the  same  general  character  of  design.

IN  this  case  the  garage  has  been  attached  to  the  house  as  a  wing  and  forms  a 
part  of  the  design.  It  it  so  placed  that  it  can  be  very  easily  reached  from  the 
rear  entrance  of  the  house  and  yet  is  entirely  distinct  from  the  living  portion. 
The  walls  are  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile  with  stucco  on  the  outside.  Brick  has  been 
used  for  the  chimney  and  also  for  the  window  sills.  The  roof  is  of  green  glazed  tile. 
The  finish  of  the  interior  is  hardwood.     The  heating  is  by  a  vapor  vacuum  system.

Macncil  &  Macneil,   Architects 

^HIS  building  is  an  example  of  the  adaptation  of  the  Spanish  Mission  type  of 
architecture  to  the  design  of  a  small  house.     The  garage  is  interesting  in  its 
design,  which  is  thoroughly  in  the  same  character. 

The  foundations  and  walls  as  well  as  the  chimney  are  all  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile, 
twelve-inch  tile  being  used  for  the  foundations  and  eight-inch  tile  for  the 
walls.  The  exterior  is  finished  with  a  cream-colored  stucco,  while  on  the  inside 
the  plaster  has  been  applied  directly  to  the  tile. 

In  the  garage  a  four-inch  Natco  Hollow  Tile  has  been  used,  one  side  of  which  is 
salt  glazed.  This  gives  a  finely  finished  surface  for  the  inside  without  any  plaster- 
ing or  other  coating,  thereby  effecting  a  distinct  saving  in  construction. 

HOUSE  AND  GARAGE  AT  PELHAM  MANOR,  N.  Y.,  Pago  76 

Richard  S.  Shapter,  Architect 

^HE  exterior  of  this  house  is  cement  plaster  finished  to  match  Indiana  limestone 
as  much  as  possible  both  as  to  color  and  texture.  The  walls  are  twelve-inch 
Natco  Hollow  Tile.  The  roof  is  covered  with  Spanish  Tile  and  its  overhang  is 
supported  by  large  wooden  brackets. 

The  rooms  on  the  first  floor  are  all  finished  in  quartered  oak,  the  living  room  being 
in  the  Flemish  style,  the  halls  in  old  English  and  the  dining  room  in  the  EUzabethan 
period.  The  service  portion  of  the  main  floor  is  finished  in  white,  the  walls  being 
tiled  up  to  a  height  of  seven  feet  and  above  that  enameled.  The  finish  of  the 
chambers  is  oak  stained  a  light  gray  color  and  the  walls  are  also  tinted  a  silver  gray. 
The  basement  contains  a  large  laundry,  cold  storage  room,  boiler  room  and  fuel 
room.     The  heat  is  by  a  vapor  vacuum  system. 

The  garage  is  built  similarly  to  the  house  except  that  it  is  entirely  fireproof.  There 
is  a  large  chamber  and  a  bathroom  on  the  upper  floor.

WHILE  stucco  is  the  more  common  treatment  for  the  finish  of  Hollow  Tile  walls, 
brick  may  be  used  as  a  veneer  at  asavingin  the  expense  of  construction  over 
solid  brick  and  yet  resulting  in  a  wall  of  great  durability.  The  air  space  in  the 
tile  effects  a  coolness  in  summer  and  a  warmth  in  winter  which  is  a  distinct  advan- 
tage over  the  ordinary  brick  construction. 

In  this  house  a  wire  cut  buff  brick  has  been  used  in  connection  with  Natco  Hollow 
Tile.  The  woodwork  on  the  exterior  has  been  stained  a  soft  brown.  The  roof  is 
of  green  slate. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  the  manner  in  wliich  the  garage  has  been  planned  so  that 
it  is  under  one  roof  with  the  entrance  porch,  not  only  tying  in  with  the  design  of 
the  building  but  forming  a  direct  passage  between  the  house  and  garage. 

HOUSE  AND  GARAGE  AT  CHICAGO,  ILL.,  Page  78 

Marshall  &  Fox,  Architects 

^HE  garage  of  this  house  has  been  so  designed  as  to  be  an  integral  part  of  the 
whole   design   and    directly   accessible    from    the   servants'    hall.     The   large 
simple  surfaces  of  stucco  on  Natco  Hollow  Tile  are  relieved  by  the  color  of  the 
shutters,  making  a  very  restful  and  dignified  design. 

An  interesting  feature  of  the  plan  is  the  enclosed  poroli,  which,  witli  its  arched 
opening,  balances  the  entrance  to  the  garage  in  the  composition  of  the  elevation. 
This  porch  is  reached  directly  from  the  living  room  through  two  French  doors  and 
is  quite  as  important  in  the  household  life  as  the  living  room  itself.

Natco  Hollow  Tile 

THE  wide  use  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile  for  fireproof  skyscraper 
construction  has  led  leading  architects  to  specify  it  for  use 
in  highest  class  residences  and  garages,  and  all  buildings  of 
this  type.  To  meet  the  demand  and  the  requirements  of  strictly 
bearing  walls,  a  special  type  has  been  constructed  of  the  same  fire- 
proof material,  known  as 

NATCO   XXX 

The  peculiar  adaptability  of  Natco  XXX  to  residences  and 
garages  is  due  to  the  double  cross  web,  causing  every  web  and  shell 
of  every  Natco  XXX  Tile  as  set  in  exterior  and  bearing  walls  to  come 
into  direct  alignment,  and  under  complete  compression. 

Natco  XXX  walls  represent  the  utmost  in  structural  solidity 
and  strength.  They  cannot  burn.  Neither  can  dampness,  climate, 
temperature  or  age  cause  the  slightest  deterioration.  The  material 
is  unequalled  for  house  and  garage  work. 

Permanence,  absolute  safety,  and  economy  are  features  of 
Natco  construction.  The  Natco  house  or  garage  needs  no  painting 
or  repairing.  It  is  warmer  in  winter  and  cooler  in  summer,  because 
the  Natco  Hollow  Tile  instilate  the  structure  with  a  blanket  of  dead 
air,  and  the  material  itself  is  practically  non-conductive  of  heat  or 
cold,  and  is  absolutely  moisture-proof.  It  affords  no  entrance  to 
vermin.  Finally — and  this  is  of  vital  importance  in  house  and 
garage   construction — it   is   absolutely   fireproof. 

Various  typical  residences  and  garages  are  shown  in  this  book, 
as  indicative  of  the  wonderful  adaptability  of  Natco  Hollow  Tile 
for  work  of  this  character.  It  lends  itself  to  any  style  of  architectural 
treatment,  available  as  it  is  in  many  varieties  of  correctly  designed  tile, 
and  it  will  be  found  unequalled  for  use  in  floors,  partitions,  and 
roofs,  as  well  as  in  bearing  walls. 

Nattirally  there  are  many  inferior  imitations  of  this  highly 
successful  product.  The  genuine  may  be  distinguished  by  the 
trade  mark  "Natco"  pressed  into  every  Natco  Hollow  Tile.

What's  Beyond  Your  Walls? 


YOU'RE  at  home  in  the  library  with  its  cheery  atmosphere 
and  surrounded  by  objects  whose  association  makes  them  very 
dear  to  you.  Your  walls  shut  out  the  world  and  its  worries, 
but  do  they  shut  out  one  fear  that  arises  as  you  look  around?  Is  the 
menace  of  a  fire  that  might  destroy  your  home  always  beyond  the 
walls  and  out  of  your  mind? 

You  can  keep  that  disquieting  fear  beyond  your  walls  forever 
if  you  build  your  home  of 

Ny\TCO  HOLLOVn^TILE 

Fire  insurance  is  a  part  of  foresight,  to  be  sure,  but  the  man 
who  builds  his  home  of  Natco  throughout  is  insuring  not  merely 
against  financial  loss,  but  against  loss  of  the  personal  possessions  that 
no  money  can  duplicate. 

Besides  the  fire  safety,  Natco  gives  your  home  an  equally  effective  and 
enduring  protection  against  the  assaults  of  age  and  the  elements.  Nature  has 
no  power  that  can  ever  take  your  Natco  home  from  you.  With  its  air  blankets, 
it  aids  you  in  keeping  out  winter's  cold  and  summer's  heat. 

Whenever  and  whatever  you  do  build,  remember  Natco  not  only  as  the 
material  to  use  but  as  a  free  service  at  your  command — the  service  of  the  ex- 
perienced Natco  Engineers  working  with  you,  your  Architect  and  Contractor 
from  the  first  plans  to  the  finished  building.  Natco  service  is  one  of  the  factors 
that  make  Natco  construction  so  uniformly  satisfactory  and  economical.  It 
prevents  mistakes  and  waste  in  building.
